Suck it up, Buttercup.

I agree 100%...this is why I check all my employees for Tats, etc and check their social media accounts, etc....for information....”face book post last forever and so do Tats...they tell a lot about people....

Yup, had this very conversation with WBill Jr. the other day. Talked about people with tattoos at work. In general when I hire, a military tattoo is a plus. Full sleeves, a serious minus (people who need to decorate themselves like that show poor decision making ability IMO). Face, hands, neck, etc ... forget it. The rest? If I can't see it, I don't care. You have a Tweety Bird tattooed on your butt? Unless you plan on mooning our clients (which is grounds for termination....), what does it matter?

With the boy, my rule is "Nothing Permanent when you live under my roof"...so no tattoos, piercings, ear grommets, or other foolishness like that.

Hair? Clothes? We'll discuss. So far, nothing too out of place (worst so far was Plaid shorts, camo shirt, blue sneakers, black socks...I asked, "Did you get dressed in the dark?" :-) ) I figure that hair will grow back and clothes - as long as he's appropriately dressed for the right occasion, no tie-dye-tshirts to church and so forth - can be changed.

Tat’s are frankly not attractive at all.....I don’t care who does them.... the skin does not pull it off as they think....but most with them will defend them because they’re stuck with them pretty much.

Besides inks used in tattoos are actually not developed for use in humans.... The body recognizes tattoo pigments as foreign particles and tries to clear them from the skin, but the chemistry of the ink used in tattoos makes this process quite difficult for the body. Hence, most of the color stays in the skin but fades over time.
